It's the other way round Peter. Some of the songs were a bit naff, but
making millions is OK.

I prefer it my way about.

Your order is now the accepted one, and I think it's how we lost our
way.

But hell, it's only money. And only music. I prefer to stick to the
important stuff; our grandchildren are coming to Sunday lunch today.

Yes. And they always accept graciously. But then the 63 runs from
Peckham to King's Cross, and in Peckham people are mostly black, still
lovely, believe in the human touch. Except for the drug dealers of
course.

No chance, the guy's hardly gone out of his way to assist the blind
community - he's in his own little bubble. The only similarity between
me and him is that we both play piano, me classical, him not so much as
far as i'm aware.
